Van Wyk Inc.

I basically did the same thing, I got sick of the bs between dealing with those two clowns in waynesboro, and the increasing incompetence and dishonesty out of Sheldon, found a company that pays a good per mile rate, plenty of extra bonus money, and actually explains procedures & benefits as well as doesn't hide from answering questions like the staff in Sheldon does.

 

Sitting in philly waiting to get unloaded,almost forgot how much I hate this part of the country! Stay safe out there drivers.

 

Just curious... who u with??

 

Oh c'mon now, I thought it was all sunshine & rainbows out there! Sorry that I broke out the Rocky quote, it was too easy since you're in Philly. I started out in Rawlins about 0215 this morning and it was a #### skating rink over to Cheyenne. I had a 5 mile stretch on Elk that was clean and dry so I came barreling around these corner and all I could see was my headlights reflecting off of the ice as far as I could see. Needless to say i could turn a lump of coal into a diamond I puckered up so tight! It was -36 when I went through Laramie which my heater just couldn't keep up with. Every be safe out east, I hear it's going to get quite slick out that way.

 

Got home about 10 last night heading back out in the morning for Oklahoma. Weather looks iffy and I want to give myself plenty of time to get there. Please be careful everyone.

 

does Van Wyk hire owner operators?

 

Yeah last I knew there were about 5. They do have a tractor age requirement. Is it 5 years? Pay is 80% pulling their wagons I believe.

 

Not sure about the age requirement. I know Rob down in Gordonsville has a 97 Pete, but he just dumped a wad of money into it for a spruce up so it's probably based on appearance & maintenance history.

 

Sitting in Topeka waiting on trailer to get loaded. If your dropping a trailer please don't crank the landing gear all the way to the ground. Just get it close drop your air bags and come out from under it. Its to #### cold to be trying to hook up to a loaded trailer that's sitting 6 inches off the fifth wheel. I wonder if some of this is being done by spotters?
